A couple of my friends were arguing about this today. One thought it was pronounced 'Kraft-work', whilst the other thought it was 'Kraft-verk'. Since I don't listen to the band or actually know anything about them, I don't know what the pronunciation of their name is. Any ideas?

Kraftwerk (pronounced [ˈkʁaftvɛɐk], German for "power station") is a German musical group from Düsseldorf that has made key contributions to the development of improvisational rock and electronic music, most notably within the latter category's sub-genres which later became known as synthpop, electro, techno, house and IDM. Early musical templates formed within the industrial and hip hop music communities have also been credited to the group.
Since we're not German it's Kraft -werk

If they are truly German or w/e then it is pronounced with a 'v' like Wagner is pronounced Vagner.
